Made my 1st RoadKill Tonite!!

I was riding my Iron 883 tonite and a fat possom ran out in front of me. I had no choice but to hit the thing doing 60 mph. A pick-up truck was in the process of passing me at the time. It was hairy for a second but the sporty cut thru that critter like butter. I hardly felt it and gave the Man upstairs a quick thank-you afterwards.

glad it went well for you, to bad fer tha possum. i had the same thing happen to me about 6 hours ofter i bought my 883 back in 05.

next time you have to do that roll ON the throttle a little and it will lighten up the front end and make it a little smoother to run over small critters and debris. also if at all possible try to raise up off the seat, it doesn't take much just enough to keep you from being bumped up off the seat. this method is a little hard with the forward controls on most bikes now days.

My undies always looks pretty nasty so I'm not sure if I messed in them or not! My butt could've pinched a steel rod in half tho.

Ahhhhh yes........... Ya gotta respect a man who's honest.

I hit a skunk once. I missed him with the front tire, but felt the bike "bumP" over him with the rear tire. Thought I got off easy, as I watched him scamper off into the weeds on the side of the road.

Next morning, I came out to the garage, only to be smacked in the face with skunk odor, as he apparently sprayed on the leather saddlebags, from the wheel side.........

Took all summer for that to go away, even with washing it.

I hit a dog once, looked like a german shepard. Damn thing just ran out in front of me barking and wouldn't get outta the way. Afterwards I stopped, picked it up and carried it to the house it belonged to. Made me sad cause a lil boy answered the door.
